Lyrics Fairport Convention

Fairport Convention

The Journeyman's Grace

Someone told me there's a grace that leads you straight from place to place

And you always leave the road behind you

You don't need your horses shod, just a dowser and his rod

Leave your mistress, she won't need to find you

Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

Leave my weary flesh and bone to a circle made of stone

Take me to the mountains for my pleasure

And if the dead man won't depart, drive a stake into his heart

And let me ere deliver him his leisure

Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

When you see the race is run and the dark has just begun

Come on with the few and leave the many

There you'll find the journeyman with a lantern in his hand

He'll show you a good time for a penny

Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid
